Interaction of electrons and molecules with a single trapped nanoparticle — •Stephan Schlemmer, Stefan Wellert, Falk Windisch, Michael Grimm, Silko Barth, and Dieter Gerlich — Faculty of Natural Science, University of Technology, 09107 Chemnitz, Germany
High-resolution and non-destructive nanoparticle mass spectrometry (NPMS) is used to study the interaction of electrons and molecules with the surface of a single, isolated particle stored in a three-dimensional quadrupole trap over weeks. IR-laser heating is employed as a fast temperature control. The kinetics of adsorption and desorption of molecules is studied for a 500 nm in diameter SiO2 particle. A C60 multilayer film has been prepared during online NPMS monitoring. Emission probabilities for secondary electrons, δ, are determined for a bare particle and the particle with a 40 nm thick layer of C60. From the molecular desorption rates ( fg/h) at constant temperature binding energies of multilayer 1.47 eV and submonolayer 1.53 eV C60 have been determined. Future perspectives of this combined mass spectrometry and surface science technique are discussed.
